How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Brazil (0.45718229661505233, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 5.58728623856661 BRL to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
Across the three tiers, the daily difference mainly comes down to lodging quality and dining choices. A budget day at $45 covers a hostel bed, cheap local meals, and bus transport, while a mid-range day at $105 allows for a private hotel room and restaurant meals, and a luxury day at $225 covers upgraded lodging along with more frequent restaurant dining and paid attractions.
The off-season months of January, February, and December tend to bring the lowest prices and quietest conditions for travelers watching their budget, though this period also brings higher rainfall totals. All the dollar figures given here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary by traveler and by season.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Feb and Dec.
